*Evil Queen in the window above the entrance of the Snow White ride.

*The singing in the rain umbrella in the Studios where you make it 'rain' for photos.

*The path outside Casey Jnr and Le Pays des Contes de Fees - there are frequently characters coming and going from down there and many of them that I've seen are Winnie the Pooh related.

*If you can stretch to it - lunch in Auberge du Cendrillon (Cinderella's restaurant).

*The stained glass windows and tapestries upstairs in the castle are amazing.

*Phantom Manor during twilight - with Big Thunder Mountain lit up in the distance, plus if you're lucky you'll get an extra creepy CM who really plays the character well.

*Hidden Mickeys all over the park.

*Secret walk-ways - makes you feel like you're in a secret club as not used by many.

*Look for theming things you may have missed - the beautiful lights above you in the gateway to Adventureland by Agrabah cafe, the gas street lamps in Frontierland and the horseshoe prints on the floor, the lighting in Discoveryland  at night that really makes it look special, try and see the Mad Hatters Tea Cups ride during twilight when it's lit up - amazing, and the Cheshire Cat face by the Labyrinth...

*One of my favourite things is having a fancy cocktail in Cafe Fantasia and sitting on the sofas in the the foyer outside and just looking all the way up to the sky lights inside the DLH while a CM is playing Disney songs on the piano.

*The live music that's on from time to time - real brass bands in the bandstand - lovely.

*Fantasia gardens are a lovely place to just sit and watch the world go by if you need a bit of a break from the busyness of the parks.

*Don't assume all park restaurants will be disappointing (that's my bad - I just assumed everything was counter service and with a fussy husband and 2 fussy kids I have just avoided them) - Silver Spur Steakhouse by Thunder Mesa is AMAZING.

I am interested in the secret walkways lol. Thanks these are great!

The secret walkways are like covered paths that link the lands together and are a slightly quicker way of getting around the park (which helps immensely when your feet are throbbing and sore from all the walking!)

I think the best one is if you take Liberty arcade and turn left when you come out of it and follow the path round to the left and et voila! You're in Frontierland. But also, instead of going left - if you walk across the main entrance area, you'll pick up the walkway again and it takes you all the way to Pirates if you follow it the whole way down.

Another one is down the side of it's a small world and it brings you out down the side of Star Tours in Discoveryland.

Not actually representing Singing in the Rain - wrong style umbrella and last time we went it had been painted red.

It's actually representing a French film - Parapluies des Normandie.

Still fun though.


Try opening the coke cool box near Hakuna Matada (path opposite Scherezade (?)).

Oh wow I didn't know that. I just heard a woman singing it while she was having her photo taken so I assumed that's what it was from haha! It's probably the only Gene Kelly film I'm not familiar with (my Grandma made me watch tonnes of his films when I was a little girl  - especially the ones with Frank Sinatra in, too).

I'm not sure if it's still there but wen we went last year we met Winnie the Pooh under the umberellas at the top of Main Street before going into discovery land. It was great there was a 5 min wait and about 4 ppl infront of us. We met him around 2pm. So be sure to keep ur eye out

The Hidden Mickey at the end of the canon on Space Mountain is a work of genius!

The singing in the rain umbrella is great fun. The kids loved it when we went
